Chapter 2415 - 1407:
More people are being brought this time, evidently intending to recruit all their family’s relatives and friends.
Jiang Tang does not know if other teams are fighting as fiercely as they are.
He only knows that they cannot retreat in battle; they might encounter not just these wolves and demons, but ghosts as well.
They need to be extremely careful here; being attacked right upon entering indicates their preparation was insufficient.
If not for the help of the Spiritual Pet, these would be more than just minor wounds by now.
Jiang Tang has already seen some team members with minor injuries, sustained during their initial unpreparedness.
They also have other Magical Treasures, yet haven’t used them, and haven’t used any Talismans either.
Upon entering, they didn’t use Divine Artifact for flight, thinking that battle would enhance their abilities, thus refrained from flying and chose direct combat.
Besieging the demon, the three sides are locked in fierce battle, gradually wearing out the demon’s advantage.
The demon had not expected the wolves to exert so much effort to deal with them, attacking in conjunction with humans.
Earlier, they thought the wolves were intentional allies aiming to annihilate the demons and believed they had fallen into a trap.
However, now it’s evident that the wolves and humans continue fighting together relentlessly.
It’s not a trap; this is a war that could erupt at any moment.
...
Jiang Tang genuinely hadn’t anticipated being so enthralled by watching the battle.
Watching Luo Yaxuan’s side, the battle seems to have brought the demons to the brink of extermination, nearly defeating the Tiger Demon Spirit.
Then he saw Jiang Tang’s group, although initially at a disadvantage when the demon attacked, they gradually gained the upper hand.
Perhaps due to their lack of experience from the start, they hadn’t prepared; if not for the Elves he provided, the entire base wouldn’t have so many of them.
This divine tribulation serves to bolster their combat capabilities, unlike before when they simply used Divine Artifact for flight to evade dangers, lacking genuine battle experience, now clearly evident.
Luo Yaxuan and Jiang Tang, along with their teams, were once elite disciples from certain Tianmen clans.
Despite encountering numerous monster hunting tribulations in recent years, they lacked fighting experience with equally matched monsters after enhancing their strength dramatically.
Previously, they were perhaps sent to varying Magical Treasures for tribulations, some only in illusion, some actual Puppets, diverse species, varied combat experience.
They weren’t exposed to battling demons or those transformed into demons, overly protective, a grave mistake.
Luo Yaxuan and Jiang Tang were engaged in intense combat, unaware that Jiang Tang was observing from within a Magical Treasure.
Unaware of the activities of those who entered the Magical Treasure with them.
Were they intensely engaged too?
Su Chang’an and his family members arrived with more than a hundred people, immediately entering a place that permits sudden entry.
This place belongs to Demon People’s territory, fundamentally humans with demon heads.
Originally not part of the Cultivation World, Jiang Tang had incorporated the Hell Palace, yet hadn’t extinguished all of them.
They were kept here as a means for others’ divine tribulation.
The existence of these Demon People presents challenges for many demons and some demons or demonic beasts and other mystical creatures and possessions inside.
Su Chang’an and his group are most lethal in swordsmanship, having learned All-Around, possessing many capabilities, but excelling in swordsmanship from when they began learning Cultivation Technique.
Though they later learned All-Around, it’s not as proficient as swordsmanship; merely an augment to their abilities.
Among the hundred-plus group, Su Chang’an is the strongest; others aren’t weak, with the lowest capability being Ocean Wheel phase, compared to one or two clans, they are of prominent clans, competing for supreme ability.
Only their family members were relocated to this fortress from the human-demon domain, transferred here to the Demon People’s territory, another’s domain.
Upon arrival, they’re besieged by Demon People.
The Demon People haven’t received directives from the Hell Palace’s Artifact Spirits; however, knowing unfamiliar entities have invaded, they’re perceived as foes, especially entering their fortress—they might be foes intent on annihilating it.
Unlikely to enter without reason, they perceive these humans abruptly arriving at their fortress to seize their territory.
Demon People’s strength might not surpass those formidable demons, their survival for several years in Hell Palace derives from having a fortress and a ship.
Allowing them to hide here and survive by sourcing food, thus shielding their species from extinction.
Previously, many demonic beasts, or those ghosts, attempted assaults.
Possessing a fortress and a ship, they fear neither lack of food nor starvation, trapping solitary demonic beasts and river fish for sustenance.
Once, Monkey Demon Spirits entered, yet confused by these Demon People, seduced by their women’s charms, exited dazed.
Almost fed some weaker monkeys as a hearty meal.
Demon People believe that in Hell Palace, as long as it’s neither the Hell Palace Artifact Spirits nor Jiang Tang intervening.
Regardless of siege type, they’ll avoid peril.
With the sudden arrival of humans, they discovered Hell Palace inundated with many humans.
Unaware of Jiang Tang’s intentions.
Unless Jiang Tang personally acts, they’re confident in handling whatever arises.
Most Demon People are women, some men; males are captives used to tackle adversaries.
They’re used as combat tools and solutions to certain challenges.
Demon People arrived here, lacking prior capabilities to lure people everywhere, kidnap them constantly.
Unable to treat humans as food or captives as before.
A few remnants from earlier remain, but freshness has waned.
The Demon People’s queen, amidst the siege of these hundred male and female cultivators.
The queen and the general are captivated; they’re women, as are most of their subordinates, though women, unless they’ve formed human heads, they’re various species as Demon People.
For beauty, they transform into human forms before others.
Now the queen and general are spellbound, as are the soldiers, drooling.
No lack of handsome men before entering Hell Palace, though not many.
This is the first time so many handsome men directly reach the fortress.
"Capture them, imprison them, definitely capture them, don’t kill them, bring them to meet me."
The queen commands, and the general listens, leading many soldiers and female soldiers along with captives to besiege these hundred handsome men.
Directly ignoring beauties within the crowd.
They don’t believe these external beauties surpass theirs.
Su Chang’an and his team initially discovered their besiegers were all men, not Demon People, discerned from their physiques despite being cultivated, their cultivation differing and bodies somewhat depleted.
These individuals aren’t opponents, their gaze slightly dull, possibly puppets controlled by Demon People.
Then some women came to besiege them, dressed in soldier attire.
Could these women be Demon People?
Women as queens, women as generals and soldiers?
A bit intriguing indeed, unsure of the Demon People’s origin.
Did Jiang Tang trap so many species here from different realms?
These Demon People don’t seem virtuous; they’re exercises to hone skills without worry, they’re women, and the men should cherish them.
